Vehicle will not shift gears. Will rev up and slow down on it's own but barely moves. Stepping on gas paddle does not help problem as it will not shift.
My car was in for a recall 2 years ago where my car would not switch gears when driving. Prior I complained several times before to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong until I found the recall or concern on line. My car is now showing the same signs as before along with stalling when I hit the break and making a ticking noise. How do I get this resolved since obviously it is a manufacturer issue with the car. This happens on highways, city streets when the car is in motion.

Parked facing downhill with vehicle in park and parking brake on. Car would not change gear using column lever. Got out of vehicle to check under hood for a problem. Notice cable disconnected from lever on transmission. When I was about to reach in to get the cable, the vehicle popped out of gear and rolled down hill, the hood slammed my arm trapping it as the vehicle rolled downhill. I became trapped between another car as it pushed me 20 feet downhill. Another passer by was able to get in the vehicle and put the brake while I pryed my arm out causing nerve damage. The hood would not release while my arm was stuck.

At approx. 59,000 miles, the transmission on our 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan started lurching and slamming when you put it in gear. After only 1 1/2 days of minor occurrences, before we could have the car looked at, the transmission completely locked up. Fortunately, my husband was able to get it into gear to get it out of the street, but it would not get into gear at all after that. We had to tow it. We are now having to pay $2000 to rebuild the transmission. This is our only car for carrying our twin toddlers, and this is the second Chrysler vehicle we have owned that has had transmission failure before 70,000 miles. My best friend also had to get rid of a Chrysler lebaron with the exact same issue. There is a systematic problem with Chrysler transmissions, and it is a known defect that is sold to consumers. If we had bought this van new instead of 1 year old, I would be finding a lemon law attorney.
